AUDITS AND RECORDS 7.5.1 The Contractor agrees that the representatives of the Office of the City Auditor or other authorized representatives of the City shall have access to, and the right to audit, examine, or reproduce, any and all records of the Contractor related to the performance under this Contract. The Contractor shall retain all such records for a period of three (3) years after final payment on this Contract or until all audit and litigation matters that the City has brought to the attention of the Contractor are resolved, whichever is longer. The Contractor agrees to refund to the City any overpayments disclosed by any such audit.
FINANCIAL RECORDS AND AUDIT Seller shall retain all financial records and documents pertaining to the Goods for a period of no less than three years after final payment. Such records and documents shall date back to the time this Contract was issued and shall include without limitation, catalogs, price lists, invoices, underlying data and basis for cost estimates, and inventory records. Buyer shall have the right to examine, reproduce and audit all Seller records related to pricing, incurred costs and proposed costs associated with any proposals (prior to or after contract award), invoices or claims.
Records and Audits RBNC will keep complete and accurate records of the underlying revenue and expense data relating to the calculations of Net Sales generated in the then current Calendar Year and payments required under this Agreement, and during the preceding [***] Calendar Years. AMGEN will have the right, [***] at its own expense, to have a nationally recognized, independent, certified public accounting firm, selected by it and subject to RBNC’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), review any such records of RBNC and its Affiliates and Sublicensees (the “Audited Party”) in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the Audited Party upon reasonable written notice (which shall be no less than [***] days’ prior written notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of strict confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under Section 3.2 (Royalties) within the [***] month period preceding the date of the request for review. No Calendar Year will be subject to audit under this Section 3.9 more than once. RBNC will receive a copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by AMGEN. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to AMGEN’s detriment, RBNC will, within [***] days after receipt of such report from the accounting firm, pay any undisputed amount of the discrepancy together with interest at the rate set forth in Section 3.8 (Late Payments). AMGEN will pay the full cost of the review unless the underpayment of amounts due to AMGEN is [***] of the amount due for the entire period being examined, in which case RBNC will pay the cost charged by such accounting firm for such review. Should the audit lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to RBNC’s detriment, RBNC may credit the amount of the discrepancy, without interest, against future payments payable to AMGEN under this Agreement, and if there are no such payments payable, then AMGEN shall pay to RBNC the amount of the discrepancy, without interest, within [***] days of AMGEN’s receipt of the report.
